NEW YORK, Feb. 5, 2015 - Yasuhisa Kawamura (L), press secretary of Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, speaks during a press conference at the UN headquarters in New York, on Feb. 5, 2015. Despite recent slayings of two Japanese citizens by Islamic State (IS) militants, Tokyo does not intend to abandon its post-World War II pacifism and chooses instead to increase its non-military humanitarian assistance to the Middle East, the chief spokesman for Japan's foreign ministry said here Thursday.
